Chapter 1343
"You guys are useless pieces of cr¥p!"
Dominic glanced at the book he was holding and instructed, "Just let him go!"
His people released Austin and stood in their spots to await further instructions.
After regaining his freedom, Austin immediately stood up and stretched his body before saying, "Granduncle! I'm not causing chaos
this time, and I'm not here to beg you for anything.I really need to ask you about something important!"
"You?"
Dominic looked up and clicked his tongue.
"What important matters could you possibly have?"
Austin started but hesitated as he looked around them.
"What embarrassing things did you do this time?"

Dominic questioned and waved to motion for the others to leave.
Austin continued when only the two remained, "Granduncle, you've been researching medicinal herbs for many years.Do you know
of herbs that could temporarily numb one’s nerves, making them unable to move for that period?"
Dominic looked at Austin as if he was an idi*t before slowly saying, ""What's wrong with you? Ever heard of anesthesia?"
"No, it's not that! It's..."
Austin panicked, not knowing how to explain himself.
After sthought, he asked, "It’s...is there such a thing where | poke two fingers on you, then you won't be able to move or say
anything?"
Austin poked at Dominic's body, not caring how he would feel, to demonstrate to Dominic what he meant.Of course, Austin dared
not poke Dominic hard, but he touched him lightly.
Austin’s memory of that incident was growing vague, and he acted it out according to how he remembered it.
Then he said, "Then the person would be able to move after you pat them again."
The sight of Austin incoherently blabbering things, along with his bewildered expression, made Dominic narrow his eyes.
This time, he did not mock Austin but said after sserious thought, "You mean numbing someone's nerves by hitting on their
acupuncture points?"
"No, it's not that!"
Austin shook his head, denying it.
"Those things only exist in folklore, and they don’t exist at all.I'm guessing it's a medicine that could numb one’s nerves, and that’s
how it freezes a person.One could use needles to poke at someone's acupuncture points to achieve that effect, but it doesn’t hurt!"
Austin thought about it, and it did not feel like a needle poked him.He was unprepared for it and sensed no danger, but he was
frozen, unable to talk.
Austin could only open his mouth but could get no words out.It was as if he had suddenly lost his voice.He did not know how to
describe how he felt then, but it horrified him.
Dominic looked at Austin’s fearful and confused face.
It made Dominic smile.
"Why can’t a person’s nerves go numb when their acupuncture points get hit? Why do you think such things don’t exist? There are
various disciplines of medicine in this world, so how could you be certain it doesn’t exist?"

With the book in his hand, Dominic turned and headed into the house, slowly striding as he continued, "The world is so big, and we
know so little about it.
Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean something doesn't exist.
"The things you know might not be entirely true either.How well can you tell between the real and fake in this world?"
Then Dominic took a seat in his rattan chair leisurely while his words confused Austin even more.
Austin was stunned and stood in silence for a moment.
‘Granduncle means a person can go numb when someone hits their acupuncture points.So, that was what Lily did? Does she know
how to do that? | thought she only learned a little about kickboxing and was a better fighter than most girls"
Austin found that unacceptable.
"Granduncle, even if such a thing exists, it should take many years for someone to master it, right? It's not something anyone can
just learn so easily."
He was still unwilling to believe that Lily could do it.
Without averting his gaze from the book, Dominic chuckled and asked casually, "You were frozen in place because someone had hit
your acupuncture points?"
